How to use Felt to DIY a rainbow cloud?

Crafting a rainbow cloud with felt is a straightforward project that’s perfect for businesses supplying decor, educational tools, or craft kits in bulk. Using Felt, Soft Felt, Colorful Felt, Glitter Felt, and Metallic Felt, you can create a vibrant, durable piece that’s easy to produce at scale—ideal for wholesale orders or classroom projects. Here’s how to bring it together.

Shaping the Cloud Base

Start with Soft Felt for the cloud. A nursery decor supplier cuts a 30cm x 15cm oval from 2mm white felt using a rotary cutter—its plush texture keeps edges neat, and at 40g per piece, it’s light enough for wall hangings. They stitch or glue two layers with a hot glue gun (sets in 20 seconds), adding a 50g polyfill stuffing for a puffy look. This sturdy base holds up through shipping 300 units, cutting returns by 10% over thinner fabrics.

Creating the Rainbow Layers

Switch to Colorful Felt for the arcs. Source 1mm sheets in seven shades—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet—and cut strips (20cm x 3cm down to 8cm x 3cm) with scissors. A kit maker stacks them in order, gluing each layer to the cloud with fabric glue (dries in 5 minutes). The vivid colors resist fading under classroom lights, boosting appeal for 500-piece orders—clients report a 15% sales lift with bright, consistent hues.

Adding a Sparkle Accent

Incorporate Glitter Felt for a standout touch. A craft vendor trims a 5cm sun shape from gold glitter felt (1.5mm thick), attaching it with a dab of hot glue. The glitter stays bonded through 200+ kits—no shedding to clog production lines—adding a premium feel that justifies a 12% price bump. It’s simple to die-cut in bulk, saving 8 minutes per 100 pieces compared to hand-cutting.

Finishing with Metallic Shine

Use Metallic Felt for extra flair. A supplier cuts 3cm stars from silver 2mm stock, gluing them around the cloud. The reflective finish catches light, enhancing display value—perfect for retail shelves or event decor. At 45g per sheet, it’s durable for 400-unit runs, maintaining shape without fraying, ensuring your inventory stays pristine.

Streamlining Your Process

Select Felt that’s pliable—pinch it; it should bounce back. Use Soft Felt for bulk bases; it cuts fast and stacks well. Stock Colorful Felt in standard rainbow tones—red and blue lead demand by 20%. Add Glitter Felt for quick accents; it’s a low-waste upgrade. Cut Metallic Felt for shine; it holds detail in high volumes. Store flat, under 25kg, to keep texture intact for production.
